I'm not going to ask how R2 got in that hole now that the Blu-Ray has added another rock, because I am currently brain dead and it will prove to be a dumb question.

A lot of people are asking the same question. I suspect the angle makes it appear that he couldn't fit, but from another angle he can. The rock on the right looks closer to the camera than the new rock added on the left.

Alternatively, he used his rockets!

Ah, well at least I'm not the only one that asked!

You know...after watching the clip with Wicket blinking, I have to say they look more like puppets that way! For some reason the blink looks mechanical, therefore more fake, than not blinking at all. Just my initial impression. _________________

Where is the clip? I see everyone talking about it but I haven't seen a link on any of the threads about the blu-ray release.

Edit: found it.

It's like they prolonged the length of the blink to make it more apparent, and at the same time fake.

Link doesn't work. What was the content?_________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

Thanks. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say it's real. The detail looks decent enough - better than I bet it would if it was a fake. Besides, it adds a little life to what could otherwise have been thought of as a still shot turned into a clip - and that's something I can see ILM (or whoever's doing it) putting in. Too, it doesn't really hurt anything, so I can't imagine anyone getting up in arms over it._________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar.

There are some fun twitter items under #fakestarwarsblurayleaks. Alderaan Shot First, for example.

are you implying that Alderaan did NOT shoot first? just because Leia claimed they had no weapons doesn't mean they didn't.

personally, I wish they'd add a shot of an older Jimmy Smits Organa and older Breha living life in the castle on Alderaan before the planet blows up. Probably not gonna happen though.

well I was expecting a Dug or a Gungan to show up in Jabba's palace on the Blu-ray, so it's nice to see I was right. Personally, I think that Dug looks like it fits right in.

I'm wondering if the old Ree Yees will be changed to look more like the Gran seen in the prequels.
